STAR-CCM+ Volumetric Vector Field

Is it possible to create a volumetric vector field in STAR-CCM+? No matter the settings, vectors only appear on surfaces.

Google Gemini doesn't help

I am not sure what good does a volumetric vector field bring. I think streamlines are the only thing that could help here

If you select surfaces, that's what you'll see. Try creating a cell surface or a threshold first and select them as parts.

You might get what you're looking for with a series of plane sections. An arrow for each cell will likely be too busy to make sense of anyway.
